Base + 8k mods would obliterate a nismo anyday of the week.
Sorry to everyone on here that thinks Nismo is the ****!
But unfortunately it's not, just overpriced for being Nismo and the body kit (which is great).
Other than that it comes with intake, exhaust, tune, sways, rims, tires.
Not worth 38 or w/e the asking price is.
If I were you I'd get a base and just mod or get a used 09 nismo and mod that.
Cheers!

true however if you have the money and/or an enthusiast, no matter how much money you put into a base model, it will never be a "nismo"

not everyone bought the nismo because it was sooo much faster than the base. some just like the exclusivity of it

in addition, resale value for a moded base model will be WAY less than a stock nismo

personally I like the regular front bumper more than the NISMO one.

I feel the same way about the rear of the car.
The NISMO is special but from something to look at Ill keep mine

if you put the badge/body kit/ seats on a base model, i bet you could sell it as a nismo to 95% of the population....

not trying to spark any ideas...
